Improving the print quality
B
If you have a print quality problem, print a test page first ( Menu , 4 , 2 , 3 ). If the printout looks good,
the problem is probably not the machine. Check the interface cable connections or try printing a
different document. If the printout or test page printed from the machine has a quality problem,
check the following steps first. And then, if you still have a print quality problem, check the chart
below and follow the recommendations.
Note
Using non-Brother supplies may affect the print quality, hardware performance, and machine
reliability.

To get the best print quality, we suggest using the recommended paper. Check that you use
paper that meets our specifications. (See
Acceptable paper and other print media
on page 17.)
b
Check that the drum unit and toner cartridge are installed properly.
